Call for papers

In this special issue of Frontiers: A Journal of Women Studies, guesteditors Victoria Haskins and Margaret Jacobs consider 'the home' as bothsite and archive of colonization. In domestic and intimate borderlands -the worlds of the everyday and indeed the mundane that so often areoverlooked in the highly charged and male-oriented debates in thehistories of colonization - we look for the myriad ways in which womenexperience, create and engage with the conditions of colonization. Weare interested in the private and personal experiences ofcolonialization and the ways in which the broader colonial processes ofsubjugation, accommodation and resistance intersect and are encapsulatedin the 'peculiar intimacy' (as Sara Suleri calls it) of domestic lives.

As Frontiers is an interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary journal, wewelcome submissions of creative works such as artwork, fiction andpoetry, as well as scholarly papers, addressing women's domestic livesin colonization. Works must be original, and not published or underconsideration for publication elsewhere.
